The appointment of Samuel Barr, to be Marshal of the District of Delaware, has given satisfaction to all except one or two disappointed applicants, and is highly creditable to the Administration.  Mr. B. is a gentleman of modest and unassuming manners, and "one who knows no guile."  He will honestly and faithfully discharge the duties of his office, and will give it character.  Had such worthy men as Mr. Barr been sent to the Legislature, in the place of a few aristocrats and miserable tools of the New Castle clique, the interests of the people would have been better regarded.
